Hard time breathing?

[Mrsortega]

Anyone else feel like their chest is caving in and like its really hard to breathe? It happened yesterday but only when I was walking around in the heat from store to store, currently I'm laying down and trying to catch my breath? And only a little light headed, anyone else? I'm 25+1

I'm going thru this right now! Ever since this afternoon I feel like someone is sitting on my chest. It's hard to breathe. I can't seem to catch my breath. It's scary and frustrating. I might be dehydrated so I'm trying to drink a lot of water tonight and hope it helps. Standing up also makes me dizzy right now.

Sometimes I have a hard time breathing. I'm 26 w 3d I drink water alot too. But I just rest as much as I can and when I'm sitting down the only time I really have a hard time breathing I'd when the baby turn a certain way and my stomach took like two small boobs and he does it everyday a few times a day so I just have to take deep breaths

I feel the same way even when im  laying on my back  I feel like im out of breath.im 25 weeks and dont think its by oing to get any better

Same here. I'm about 23 wks. about to hit 24 weeks. I recommend doing yoga and to take things easily. Take your time to get off the couch. I feel the same way. I can't have a conversation without losing my breath. They say its normal. If it feels more uncomfortable tell your obgyn. It could be something serious. I also get nausea and lightheaded if I'm in the heat too long. It's probably cause our bodys blood volume is higher. But yoga helps, and drinking water is always good!! Hope this eases your mind a bit. I know I was worried when I would have to catch my breath just sitting down on the couch. I still lose my breath and ill probably tell my doctor on tues. I feel like if my throat is closing.on me.

I agree with 2ndbaby 77 you probably do need more water you need to sit down put a cool fan in your face and just relax breathe in and out slowly the faster you breathe the less you'll be able to catch your breath.

You probably need to drink way more water. Especially if your waking around in the heat. We need to drink like at least 12 glasses of water a day. But more if your in the heat.
